What is the difference between a CCD clean and a full clean and service?

|

A CCD clean is: a functionality test, blow out and clean of the mirror box area and the shutter area, then a wet swab the sensor. Test images are taken to check the clean. Externally clean the camera and the lens. Firmware up-graded if available.

A clean and service: a full functionality test, dismantle the camera and clean the mechanism internally, re-lubricate and make adjustments as required. Replacement of parts if worn or failing. Battery contacts, hot shoe and the body/lens connection pins are cleaned. After the unit is reassembled the CCD is cleaned. Firmware up-graded if available.
